It's worth what you can get someone to buy it for.
"Worth" is subjective. It depends on condition, availability, and desirability.
In some parts of the country Bolens tractors are as common as dirt, and the prices reflect that. In others, they are scarce and the prices rise accordingly.
I have an 1886-01 with a home made FEL on it and I bought it for $800.00. Granted it's not in full restored condition, but it is in good shape MECHANICALLY, which for my purposes is what is desirable, as I bought it to WORK it, not just look at it.
If it's TRULY re-built, which means an engine overhaul, full repaint in the PROPER colors, etc, then in my part of the county, NE Ohio, it's probably worth something in the neighborhood of 800-900.
As for parts and attachments, Craigslist, and eBay are your friends.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
